I am in my late thirties. I try to find time to upgrade my skills and be informed on what’s the latest in demand. I mean, as much as I can. I figure that’s the only way to make sure you’ll be employable. It’s not easy, it’s time consuming (and also sometimes requires financial investment), and more often than not I feel like I do nothing but work or things related to work.

You gain enough skills on the job. Why are you paying out of pocket for your education? What is it that you do, that has you feeling so insecure about your future that you feel the need to be this “renaissance man” just to be employable?
